Will go back to:
- Malaysia. Love that place. Even KL which is copping a beating.
- Sri Lanka. Still much to see.
- Egypt. So much history .... just would like it to settle a bit first.
- Eastern Europe ... far more interesting than western in my opinion.
- Bali. Sure I hate the "party" scene, but love the diving, food and relatively short flight.
- Philippines. There's serious safety issues across most of the islands but the diving is just out of this world. And it's the only place in the word where my <150cm friend feels tall
Will not go back to:
- Curacao. Loved it, but have "done" it.
- Italy. Snore! Just did not like it at all. And yes I went to about 15 different cities so I feel I gae it a fair shot.
- China. Though I've only been to Beijing and Xi'an, these are just miserable places to be a young white tourist. Sometimes I think I should go somewhere in the south, see if that's any better. But .... blergh.
- Vietnam. It's okay, but I've done it a couple of times. Food I just found disappointing compared to the rest of SE Asia.
- Russia. Done it (well partially - no one can do all of it!), expensive, visa is a PITA.
- Macao. Done it. Love the egg tarts, don't love the casinos.
- France. Done it. Hate the French attitude in some places (and no I was never rude or tried to speak English to anyone unless they started in English).
